2 Board of Trustees Letter to Members

Dear Members and Friends,

We are pleased to report that 2017 was a very eventful and successful year for the Oregon Historical Society. One of the highlights was our exhibit, High Hopes, celebrating the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy. This original exhibition attracted visitors from across the country and the world—including President Kennedy’s daughter, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, who inspired a sold-out audience of nearly 3,000 with her remarks on the importance of studying our history.

High Hopes was the fifth exhibit developed by the Oregon Historical Society featuring Portland businessman and OHS trustee Pete Mark’s world class collection of historical treasures. Sadly, Pete passed away on June 1, 2017 at 91 years of age after a remarkable life of accomplishment. OHS will always remember his friendship and generosity—and continue his legacy, and that of other dear friends we lost in 2017—by preserving and sharing Oregon’s story with future generations.

2017 was also a year of progress for our FORWARD! capital campaign. Just a few weeks ago, we said goodbye to our popular Oregon My Oregon exhibition after a successful fourteen year run. Construction has already begun on our new permanent exhibition, Experience Oregon, which is being developed with a diverse group of stakeholders to present Oregon’s vast history through broad perspectives. Gifts to the FORWARD! campaign make this important renovation possible, and we are excited to debut this state-of-the- art exhibition on Oregon’s 160th birthday, February 14, 2019.

We also made great progress on the second goal of the campaign with the launch of OHS Digital Collections. Since the site went live last May, over 15,000 photographs, oral histories, and manuscripts have been digitized and made available to the public, with new content being added weekly.

Architectural plans are being finalized for our Research Library, which will undergo a renovation beginning in 2019 to create a more inspiring and productive space for historical research and preservation work. Through FORWARD!, we continue to raise funds for all three of these initiatives, as well as build endowments that will secure our accomplishments into the future.

We invite all of you to join this important campaign, which will ensure that Oregonians always have access to history that enriches our lives and informs our decisions. Thank you for your continued support and for helping put the power of history into everyone’s hands.

Best regards,

Kerry Tymchuk Carl Christoferson Executive Director President, Board of Trustees

OHS gained new collection items from the American Textile History Museum in Massachusetts, which closed. This cardboard sheep features a blue Pendleton label and was probably used during the 1970s for advertising. By transferring locally made artifacts to the Oregon Historical Society, the museum was able to find a new home for some of their collections. OHS Museum 2017-57.7

OHS Launches Digital Collections

While there is nothing quite like putting on a pair of white gloves and getting lost in a file of old black and white photographs, the digital age has brought to screens in homes and classrooms materials in libraries and archives from all over the world. Following current trends among archives to provide broad, open access to collections, the Oregon Historical Society launched OHS Digital Collections in May 2017 as part of the ongoing FORWARD! capital campaign.

With this new website (digitalcollections.ohs.org), researchers, scholars, artists, and students can now explore thousands of historical images, manuscripts, and oral histories from the Oregon Historical Society Research Library’s collections. Since launch, over 15,000 items have been added to the site, with new material being uploaded for public access each week.

With OHS Digital Collections, users now have access to a growing archive from our Research Library. For folks who cannot visit the library in person, the ability to create high resolution scans gives the end user the next best thing to seeing the actual document or image in person.

This resource will become more and more useful across the state and beyond as the FORWARD! campaign provides funding for equipment, facility upgrades, and services. New equipment, including large format and film scanners, will be used to digitize fragile items such as architectural plans and maps as well as motion picture film. Beyond providing critical collections access, the preservation systems implemented behind the scenes will safeguard these priceless collections for generations.

The Oregon Historical Society Research Library and Oregon State University Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives Research Center collaborated to make more than 40 years of photographs, manuscripts, publications, correspondence, and other materials created by William Finley, Irene Finley, and Herman Bohlman available online. This digitization effort, completed in June 2017, allowed the collection, which is physically divided between OHS and OSU, to be united in its entirety for researchers and conservationists to access in a single digital space. 16 A Year In Review
